Togusa

When Public Security Section 9 recruits from the police rather than the military, the result is Togusa: the squad's only badge-carrying detective turned cyber-crime operative, and the sole member whose body remains almost entirely his own. In Science SARU's The Ghost in the Shell (2026), he steps into the thick of the Puppet Master investigation carrying nothing but a cyberbrain, a mullet, and an antique Mateba autorevolver he refuses to trade in for standard issue.

Togusa’s Role in The Ghost in the Shell

What makes Togusa irreplaceable to Section 9 is exactly what makes him the odd one out: his humanity. Major Kusanagi recruited him precisely because homogenization is a liability in their world, and his unaugmented instincts pick up signals that no amount of cybernetic enhancement can replicate. He carries a family man’s stakes into every operation, which gives his investigations an urgency his more mechanized colleagues can’t manufacture. That tension between human vulnerability and the demands of a world built on cyborg warfare defines every scene he inhabits. Six bullets, he insists, is always enough to get the job done.

Who Voices Togusa in The Ghost in the Shell (2026)?

Nick Apostolides delivers Togusa’s English performance in the 2026 series, bringing the same grounded intensity he’s built across his defining run as Leon S. Kennedy in Capcom’s Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 4 remakes. His ability to voice characters caught between duty and human cost makes him a natural fit for a detective navigating a world that keeps asking him whether being human is still enough. On the Japanese side, Koichi Yamadera returns to the role he has held since the original 1995 film, a performance so embedded in the character’s DNA that it is now genuinely impossible to separate the two. Yamadera is one of Japan’s most prolific voice actors, whose credits span Donald Duck in the Japanese Kingdom Hearts series to Beerus in Dragon Ball Super.
